Read this and thought I would share. Honestly, the best opinion article I've seen on the labor issue hands down. Really is a shame he isn't the one in charge of the NFLPA.

Path Towards a Solution

Thus far, the effort to find a solution to the problem of how NFL players are appropriately compensated for their unique investment in the game is bogged down in an argument over disclosure of current financial information relating to the 32 teams and the NFL. The issue of disclosure of current financial information focuses on whether NFL owners are presently making enough money or losing too much. This subjective debate is going nowhere because both sides are right. The NFLPA has a legitimate interest in ensuring that its members receive their fair share of the pie. NFL owners have a legitimate interest in maximizing the value of their business.

The solution for preserving NFL players’ and NFL owners’ legitimate business expectations begins with an agreement on the scope of future financial disclosure that is required to enable players to measure the performance of their annual investment in the game. Once players are able to measure the performance of their investment, the next step in the solution is developing a mechanism that enables players to receive a return on their investment, regardless of when that return on investment is realized.

How about the owners agree to give 50% to the players if each player with endorsements give the owners 50% of their endorsement monies.

You have a point. I never thought of it that way. If the NFL didn't give them their stardom, they would never have the endorsements they do. Even with Cam getting his, it's based on exposure through the NFL.

What about Jersey sales? The players don't get a cut from them!

But thats not a factor to the NFLPA. They want that and 50%.

DeMaurice Smith is a moron who is using this situation to try to gain clout. Taking this to the court system over 800 million out of something like 9 billion dollars? Just take your damn money and go home...Its more than any athlete SHOULD BE paid anyways.

      89 on The Pivot

      By CRA · Posted

      yeah, Steve was basically like on any actual topic that approached his flaws/problems.....89 went with the long winded, try to sound like a wise man strategy of just basically just pleading the 5th (and sprinkling in the idea that others could of been wrong or wrong too).   also, in terms of the assaults and stuff like that....it feels like old 89, I feel has sort of forgotten his well-documented confessions and apologies about that aspect and era of his and was trying to re-write his story/image in hindsight.   And in all honesty, it seemed like a PR move on the twitter/cheating stuff also attempting to play himself as not the bad guy some think with the intentional vague suggestions. and the Pivot and all these athlete moves to basically take the reigns and power from traditional outlets exposes they have just as bad as flaws if not more often than the traditional media folks.  I mean I do like the free form long talk when dudes are telling stories but all this stuff is largely flawed and controlled PR often.

      Surprise! Kon looks really bad!

      Sadly, I agree and I’m a huge Melo fan. Might be time to ship him out. Don’t want to make the same mistakes the Pels did. They should’ve gotten rid of Zion two years ago.

      I forgot he was on the team and I'm pulling for him, but the statistics are not in his favor.  Some guys can recover from injuries and others cannot and let's hope Brooks is the former.  He was a beast in high school and college.
